About the band

The Libertines are one of Britain’s most beloved bands. Fronted by Carl Barât and Pete Doherty, alongside bassist John Hassall and powerhouse drummer Gary Powell, The Libertines’ chemistry on stage is a testament to a bond forged in the heart of Britain’s early-2000s indie explosion.

From the moment they burst onto the scene with Up The Bracket in 2002, the band carved out their own corner of British music—anarchic, poetic and unpredictable. Their second self-titled album in 2004 shot straight to number one in the UK Album Chart.

Fast forward to today and the band are once again proving their enduring magic. Their latest album, All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade debuted at number one in the UK Album Chart in 2024 – two decades after they last topped it. Late 2024 saw them sell out venues across the UK, followed by a sell-out European tour earlier this year.

From their earliest days to their momentous Glastonbury performance in 2022, 20 years on from their first album, The Libertines have always crafted brilliance amongst the occasional chaos, pushing forward while nodding to their roots.

Among the very special guests is Frank Turner and The Sleeping Souls. Frank is one of the UK’s most successful artists. He released his tenth studio album ‘Undefeated’ in May 2024 which debuted at Number 3 in the Official Album Chart and Number 1 in the Independent Album Chart.

Frank played his 3,000th show in Feb 2025 at Alexandra Palace, which sold out within 24 hours. His biggest UK headline shows include Alexandra Palace, the O2 Arena and Wembley Arena.

Also appearing are art-rock livewires Sports Team and fast-rising Celtic punks Mên An Tol, an edgy and eclectic mix for a night sure to be full of powerful and passionate performances.
